Liudmila Samsonova is a tennis player who attracted a lot of attention this season, and there is no doubt that she will be just as dominant next year.
The Russian tennis player, when she sums up her season, can be satisfied with her game, although she is aware that she could have been an even more significant figure in women's tennis this year.
It is not known what her goal was this season, but the fact that she stayed in the top 20 shows that she was consistent and even improved in some aspects. The highlights of her season are the finals of the WTA 500 tournament in Strasbourg, where she played against Elena Rybakina. The fourth round of Roland Garros was also a confidence-boosting moment.
Samsonova was an equally important figure at Wimbledon, she reached the fourth round, but she was a little short of taking a bigger step and progressing further.
End of the year: Samsonova gets engaged
However, what is attracting a lot of attention is her post on Instagram.
Liudmila Samsonova has been in a relationship with her coach Alessandro Dumitrache since 2020, and now she announced her engagement by sharing a photo on social media with a ring while on a plane.
The famous tennis player wrote in the description of the photo:
"A new chapter begins"
There is no doubt that this is an important moment for the 27-year-old tennis player, who expects that the next year will bring much more success and that she will really be more dominant in 2026.
Moments like this certainly bring a huge dose of happiness.
It is clear that when you are satisfied in your private life, it can also be felt on the tennis courts.
This is the part of the year that the famous tennis player will use to enjoy time with her family, friends and boyfriend, but also to set goals for the next season and try to enter 2026 stronger than ever.
